Psalms 107:36
34 and fruitful land into fields of salt, because of the wickedness of its dwellers.
35 He turns a desert into pools of water and a dry land into flowing springs.
He causes the hungry to settle there, that they may establish a city in which to dwell.
37 They sow fields and plant vineyards that yield a fruitful harvest.
38 He blesses them, and they multiply greatly; He does not let their herds diminish.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
